Thanks for providing this image!

I face the following bluetooth issue: in a phone connection with a bluetooth headset I have no sound in both directions.

What works:
– bluetooth pairing and connection
– bluetooth audio for hearing media via the bluetooth headset, e.g. Spotify
– in a call the bluetooth headset is “active”: I can control volume with the headset, answer or end a call and the speaker on the phone turns off because it uses the bluetooth headset

What does not work:
– during a phone call I hear no audio and also the other call partner does not hear me

I tried this with 2 different headsets (a car and a Plantronics headset) and see the same effect on both.

Any ideas?

Thank you developers for creating this ROM, which without being official works very well. I have a similar problem with incoming calls. The one who calls me does not listen to me and I do to him. Whereas if it’s me who makes the call everything works ok. I am using the ROM for Galaxy S5 Neo (SM-G903W) of 08/15/2018, We hope to have your good work. regards,
Graciel

Hello,

thank you for this project.

I’m tring to find the TWRP image, but I can’t find it in both the link above or at TWRP site.

At the TWRP site there is an image “Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Exynos (s5neolte)”. Is this correct?

 

Thanks,

Andrea

Thanks
